The Forum Sponsor sells them brand new! They aren't cheap but then you are basically buying and aftermarket convertible top complete with the frame! And in spite of what it says, they fit all the way through 1996 models. They only stipulate 80-91 because of the changes to rear seat belts and high-mount stop light additions in 1992. The soft top the Graveyard sells will FIT, it just renders the shoulder belts and the high-mount center stop lamp inoperative so they can't market them to anything later than 1991 models.

Get a spare top and pull the glass. Cut a hole in the roof too if you want... I did! I run the top in the following pictures every summer. It weighs less than half what the OEM top does and it lets me keep my shoulder harness rear seat belts. (Anyone with a 92+ Bronco knows that removing the top basically renders the rear outboard seat belts useless).
To remove the top, you can pull the hardware then with the rear seat folded all the way up towards the back of the front seats you can get under it and walk it back off the bed with it balanced like a turtle shell on your back. It takes a little practice but I do it all the time. You still need at least one other person to assist with getting down from the bed rails after you have cleared the rear guide pins.

This is most excellent! Definitely going on the list of mods after the brakes, windows, exhaust & locks are fixed...
Was that a self-fabricated solution?

You are wrong in Michigan So don’t act like a Know It all
Never said there was a problem with it. I pointed out the FACTS about the Federal Laws that Ford was not going to deliberately tell their customers to BREAK by removing the top once the shoulder harness belts and the high-mount stop light were attached to the top. An end user might not catch hell for it but you can BET Ford would have if they gave instructions in the owners's manual for removing federally mandated equipment. Give the FAQ a read and you will see what one Missouri State Hwy. Patrol officer had to say about removing a Bronco top.

Wow! Great first post to a 15 year old thread that died 5 years ago.
And you are wrong. 1992 was first year for heavy vehicles. 1986 would be for passenger cars under a certain GVW
Is @greystreak92 even on here anymore?
